Complete HarpWeek Explanation:A campaign banner for Democratic presidential candidate Horatio Seymour and running mate Francis Preston Blair, Jr., of Missouri. Above the curiously overlapping portraits of the candidates is a globe, on which rests an American eagle holding a streamer in his beak. From behind the globe are rays of light and two American flags. Liberty, in a Phrygian cap, stands at left and Justice, holding her sword and scales, at right.
Below the portraits are two medallions. One contains an image of two hands pushing a plough. The other contains an arm-and-hammer device, symbol of Labor.Source: American Political Prints, 1766 - 1876: A Catalog of the Collections in the Library of Congress, 1991, by Bernard F. Reilly, Jr.
